Penn Carnage II Surf Rods are designed to accommodate the compact reels that anglers use to achieve greater drag pressures with braided lines. Penn Carnage II Surf Rods are incredibly pleasant rods to fish with as they are lighter, use top of the line components, and have slower actions than comparable rods.

I bought 2 of these 10' casting rods & paired them with Avet SX MC reels. This is a great setup. The tip is sensitive for good bite indication. I don't normally need to cast too far, but once I had got the reel set right I can get a 3oz lead over the 100yd mark with relative ease.

Amazing Surf Rod

I bought the 9ft 15-30lb line class. I can cast a mile with this rod. I haven't caught anything with it yet. I was hoping to use it for catching reds and drum in the surf but I have come up empty so far. The rod is amazing quality and 10x better than the prevail. They are powerful, im sure i could catch a 5ft shark on it as well with ease.

ConsWhen you break it down into 2 pieces, I cant put the top piece in my beach cart, the guide stops it from going through the hole.

Carnage 2 Surf 30-65 12'

This rod did cast nicely for such a heavy rod. Paired nicely with a Penn 10500.

Great rod

Just received this rod from Tackle Direct. usually when you buy rods, they are packed loosely in an oversized box. but these cams very well packed in a hard cardboard tube/bubble wrap. the rod itself has fantastic quality.
Build quality is awesome. very comfortable EVA grips and most of all, very light weight compared too my Okuma Longitude. When I was looking to upgrade my rod, I was looking for something that had a decent
price,good quality materials used (K-guides included which is a plus),good sensitivity and light weight. the Carnage 2 satisfies all these requirements. would recommend this rod to anyone.
